Hello,

doesn't this one looks like a DH85 Leopard Moth ?

Yes, my first thought when I saw it was that it was from the de
Havilland stable, but it seems I was wrong:

Similar, but not the same.

Note the wing roots reverse taper (ala Tailwind) and the Leopard Moth
does not.

Also the main gear is considerably different.

Cowling, cabin arrangement (Front and rear doors) and windows...

I'd suspect the RWD is considerably larger, but that's just a guess.
